ATB, possible spare possie, 250km

[MikeyOz]

Hey all,

might have a spare spot on the ATB if anyone is interested, will know for sure probably wednesday, probably about an 80% chance it will be available, so if you are interested let me know.

just have to be comfortable riding in packs and be able to average at least 30km/h for the ride, spot will be paid for, and you will have to wear the team jersey, is a team of 5. Just doing it for the challenge.

post here or PM me is interested.

Does the spot also come with a paid for ticket for the lucky person
and their bike, as well as recreation leave?

Dammit, why did my job have to start a week before ATB?

Don't worry Resound -- you're not the only person to think
Coonabarabran is near Canberra!

If I was to do a lap of the warrumbungles a few times, that could
work, but it's not quite as flat as the bay.

Actually, I was confusing Wagga with Dubbo. I knew Coonabarabran was just
past one of them, but I forgot which

Coonabaraban.... Canberra.... they are both as exciting as each other

Hey.. you should start training for the Warrumbungles marathon... supposed to be a beauty of a marathon.

Just the once should be enough, its 561.54 km from Coona to Canberra,
plus the other side of the lake plus back again. Might take a little
longer than a day!

Nah, Coona has much more night life.

Will I have an unfair advantage being on two wheels though?

If a train station is a place where a train stops, what's a workstation?

Easy. Coonabarabran is the place where there's a petrol station on the
left as you're coming into town heading north where you have to wait
for 10 minutes for a coffee at 6:00 am. And when it arrives, it's the
worst coffee you've ever had in your life. El cheapo instant badly
handled. Yeuch.

How do you manage that when you have to stop for traffic lights or are
there few enough that a 30kph average would still be possible?
